Summary:

The Pillager Public School District in Minnesota operates three schools: Pillager Elementary, Pillager Middle School, and Pillager Senior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Pillager Elementary stands out as the strongest performer in the district, consistently ranking in the top 40% of Minnesota elementary schools and exceeding district and state averages in academic proficiency. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 may contribute to its success. In contrast, Pillager Middle School has more varied performance, with reading proficiency generally stronger than math proficiency. The school's ranking has improved over the past three years, moving from the bottom 50% to the top 35% of Minnesota middle schools.

While Pillager Senior High School has a reasonable 84.2% four-year graduation rate, it lags behind the district and state in math and reading proficiency, with 11th-grade math scores around 30% and 10th-grade reading scores around 50%. The school's dropout rate of 4.4% suggests a need for additional support and intervention strategies to enhance student engagement and success at the high school level.
